CC on this little guy please

[tabithakat64]

Any comments on this pony's conformation much appreciated

(Sorry I know the photos aren't great)

I'm not good at this but, is he not a little bum high? Definitely overweight!

 

[Trubie]

How old is he?

 

[itsme123]

do you want honest answers??

IMO It's rump high, and I'd like it to be a little longer in the neck, it kind of looks like it's stolen a neck off a smaller breed...

How old is it?

 

[welshied]

I'm guessing its only a youngster and in the middle of a growth spurt which is why its bum high

 

[carthorse]

If he is young , then poor thing for being allowed to get that fat, well if he is any age it is a terrible shame. Looks like laminitis waiting to happen

 

[Hippona]

What breed is he please?

Agree he is bum-high and a bit overweight, more so than I would like, but I dont think he is hideously obese especially if he is a Highland or something.

 

[Evadiva1514]

Ooh a little highland!!

How's he bred?? How old is he??

I wouldn't worry about him being croup high, most of the Highlands i've come across in the time ive been associated with Islay have been. I think he looks rather sweet, have you been to view him??

Thought you wanted Islay or Twirl anyway?? I was just ordering a tonne of bubblewrap to parcel them up for you!!

 

[Battyoldbint]

oh hes lovely, my highland looks like that

 

[Evadiva1514]

Have you seen the top advert on HQ under Highland ponies?! He looks a lovely little chap, his name is Glenwestcastle Loch Buie. Reasonably priced too.... They don't tend to be on the market for long these highlands, particularly the good ones!!

 

[tabithakat64]

He's rising four and unbacked. He's an Erray Highland and has Whitefield and Islay bloodlines.

I'd love Islay and Twirl

Send them now

 

[Charmaine18]

Wow, he's fat. He looks lovely though! Very cute.

 

[tabithakat64]

Yup, he's very nice and within my budget just too.

 

[Evadiva1514]

Ooh lovely, i bet he would look like a different pony after a few months of work and a bit of a bath etc. Have you been to see him?? I think he's rather cute!!

He sounds like he has some nice lines in him too!!!

 

[Evadiva1514]

Just thought i'd pop a link up to the stud where we bought Islay from. It's called the Gissings stud and they have youngstock for sale. The website is:

Lesley is really friendly and helpful and they have some really nice homebred stock there!!

 

[dsophiea]

I like him (although i am a huge highland fan) i think when he has matured he is going to be lovely, as for the weight, highlands could live off fresh air and still be fat

have you bought him?

 

[Hippona]

They come in all sizes/shapes Highlands dont they!?...Heres mine, he was rising 5 when this piccie was taken.

I saw a lovely grey Highland this weekend at a local show....theres only 3 as far as I know in my area......makes a change from Welshies....

All the judges say its not often they get to judge a Highland.....

 

[tabithakat64]

I haven't been to view him myself am sending an experienced friend as he's in Scotland and getting a basic two stage vetting done.

I'll email Lesley and see if she has anything suitable.

 

[wildpoppywild]

OMFG!!!!!! tht is the exact copy of my highland!!!!!!! like seriously!!!

i'll just have him and have a wee pair!

 

[TicTac]

I think he's a nice Highland type with a bit of growing still to do. I would buy him, but monitor his rather round tummy!

 

[golddustsara]

Oh my Benji's_Girl I love that one on HQ!!!!! Super super sweet.

I like this one too so go for him if you like him

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

He looks sweet, but definitely overweight

 

[somethingorother]

He's gorgeous, but there's no two ways about it- it's not his highland breeding- he is obese. He would need a major diet. Especially if he 'gets fat off fresh air' That's not an excuse... All that extra weight whilst he's still growing...
